Baseball and Porn

I was freezing, my nose started bleeding, and a plane nearly clipped us at the top of Safeco Field’s last seats in the third deck, causing me to nearly lose my eyesight to see who was batting and who was playing the field for the Kansas City Royals vs. Seattle Mariners game. It was rally towel night so I got a free towel, and used it to try to warm my hands up, even though it did not help, I still had a good time.

I discovered that the stadium offers one good place to eat. The rest is standard hot dog, fries, burgers, and stuff like that, but in the last possible section in the third deck near the helicopter landing there is a BBQ stand. They offer you A sandwich that includes a hot link, then topped with pulled pork! It weighs about 2 pounds total, and it comes with a bag of chips for ten dollars. Now I don’t have pictures to confirm this, but I ate it twice. That’s right two in a row!

Before you consider me a pig, please consider the fact that I also went to a game the next day when I ate the second one. We got seats in the left field bleachers for fairly cheap. Center field bleachers are only seven dollars! So we will be seeing more games from in the cheap seats, and hope for homers in the direction.

On a complete different note, I want to talk about porn.

That’s right, the icky ugly topic of porn hit me this weekend. No, it wasn’t because I was watching it. It was simply because I was reminded about this idea I had a few years back about having pin up girls involved in xxx movies. Before I go further, put the kids to bed, and make sure you’re bracing yourself for a little pg-13 talk…..

The idea was sparked from these old pin up girls that I had been given by a client, who wanted me to build him a website that was reminiscent of that era’s style. I concurred with my friend at the time that they should make adult film with women that beautiful. I figured in the dollar amount, and not the morality side of things, and while I stick to my guns on being a christian, I feel that being honest is key here. I honestly thought it would be a legitimate money maker at the time. Then fast forward many years, and I am not in any way in the porn business, unless you count he 8 month stint at the Video Store that I worked at, but that was more on the sales side then the production side.

All that to say that the big boys in the Valley of Southern California launched a company that specializes in girls that not only look like pin ups, but also have tattoo’s and piercings of that style. So either someone stole my idea, or I am just another male that happened to stumble across a fantasy that some are living out as a reality.

While I do not wish to be on the production side now, I see the money making venture that could have been.

I do not kick myself or regret it too much, I just found it interesting to see that they are catering to that audience. Although, I do not condone it for myself, I do see the relevancy of changing up business models to suit the changing of the times.

I polished off two books last Friday. I will be submitting a review of the book tomorrow or Wednesday, of one book. The other will be reviewed on my WWE Blog that is running at full force.

You can check that out on the right hand side.

Oh and on a sidenote: Google places ads on my site, and they are really making me upset with the selection. I’ve been trying to filter it better, but they are totally placing ads for things that I do not condone. So if you happen to click on one, and help me out a little, please note that I do not condone or like the ads sometimes. I’m working on changing them to be more relevant, but for the time being, please take that into account.

    I’m guessing you are talking about stuff like Suicide Girls, right? From what I’ve seen, I like some of their stuff, usually pretty tasteful, but the girls aren’t always the most beautiful… but it is a great idea! But I dunno, making porn or porn-lite, I think it would seem fun or interesting at first, but it seems like it would get boring and a little depressing after a while…

    I like pin ups, obviously my template has one, and I do like mixing old with new–but the pin ups themselves are legit art from the 40’s and 50’s and I would never put a tattoo on mine
